When working with caprines, be very calm and gentle when approaching. Caprines are nervous animals by nature, and will spook easily if yelled at or handled roughly. When handling caprines, use a rope halter. If caprines have horns, these can also be held to control them. If possible, it is best to have someone available to assist with handling. Once caught, some caprines respond better when laying down, with someone cradling their head. Always offer lots of affection, praise and treats even if they are difficult. Positive reinforcement will lead to a better response from caprines.
